Match Thread Carabao Cup: Bournemouth v Everton - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

What do you expect when we started game with 3 at the back that nearly got relegated last season. All 3 are terrible defenders. And the backup for Pickford is terrible too, well past it

This is what i cant understand, we have a great back two, mess with the rest but not them two as well

I called off a work meeting because I didn't wanna sit in congested traffic and the game was on, in hindsight being trapped in traffic outside of the city would of been preferable to this horror show

 

[Bluestar]

I’m honestly not going to lose a seconds sleep over this result. We had a good spell and it could have been 2-2.

We have a back line playing that have almost zero minutes in them this season. Our priority is Saturdays game.

 

[Melchizedek]

Iwobi is trying but there's nobody running - no effort or no idea of where to run? don't get it

I really don't think there is a plan going forward. Anytime we're in the attacking third people just stand around looking confused.

Anyone know the name of a good Voodoo witch doctor to life whatever Indian curse this trophy has on us?

We need a massive forum scrap, red banners flying high and proud

I'm made up we are out of this distraction of a competition. But it's deeply concerning that we just lost convincingly to a Bournemouth reserve team. A team who you would have to say is lower half championship at best. I was negative before the Palace game but that game was a really strong performance but since then its gone massively downhill again. I really don't see us staying up if Frank stays

Distraction from what mate? From our stellar league campaign? How about we give something back to the fans for the years upon years of utter trash?

A scintillating display from the lads there. Second in every single department.

Talk about tactics all you want but we have some truly poor footballers at the club.

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Had no idea we were playing tonight. Stumbled upon the score by chance.

Ouch.

It came as a surprise to most of our team too

Last week was pretty poor..... and Fulham before that...

And Newcastle before that....

And Spurs before that.......

And Man Utd before that......

Thats 5 of the last 6 game!

It's true, the outlier in the data is the Palace game. That was the freak result.

 

[ToffeeTim]

you mean it tells us they're giving up? I see what you mean - with a WC break, why not play half the first XI and just freshen up a few positions. BUt we have nobody who can score goals that's the problem too. Davies ...sigh ... he could have really given a better showing- Doucoure was a good player 18 months ago. what is happening?

It showed he didn't care if we lost

And guess what, we've been humiliated.

Its inexplicable. Its inexcusable. This is Everton football club and he basically said he didn't care if we win.

I'm embarrassed and angry

 

[Steve EFC]

We want 5

Agreed because if that meant we never see some of them again It’ll be a result!!!

Unfortunately, this tops all of those. We haven’t shipped goals like tonight for a long time.

Just ‘koff Everton. Ridiculous starting lineup and formation, inviting trouble. I mean, I’m pro-Lampard, but WTF he thought he was doing here, I have no idea. Not even competitive. Need a reaction in the league game.
